Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1904. He was famous because of the books he wrote for children. They combine funny words, pictures, and social opinions.
Dr Seuss wrote his first book for children in 1937. It is called And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. A number of publishers refused to publish it. They said it was too different. A friend finally published it. Soon other successful books followed. Over the years, he wrote more than forty children's books. They were fun to read. Yet his books sometimes dealt with serious subjects.
By the middle 1940s, Dr Seuss had become one of the best loved and most successful writers of children's books. He had a strong desire to help children.

In 1957, Dr Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 225 words to write the book. This was about the number of words a six year old should be able to read.
The story is about a cat who tries to entertain two children on a rainy day while their mother is away from home. The cat is not like normal cats. It talks. The book was an immediate success.

Mount Hood is the highest mountain in Oregon, a state in the western United States. At 3,400 meters it is attractive (有吸引力的) to many people, some of whom, of course, run into trouble. Each year 25 to 50 people have accidents or get lost on Mount Hood and require rescue. Although most of these are understandable accidents, a few result from careless risk taking.
In one recent case, three experienced climbers went hiking (远足) in the middle of a snowstorm in December. Most hikers climb Mount Hood in May or June when the weather conditions are favorable. But in December, the mountain is covered in snow and ice. Winds up to 135 kilometers per hour blow the snow around making it difficult to see. Temperatures can drop below freezing. As one rescue worker put it, “What were they thinking They were just asking for it.”
During a rescue a few years ago, a helicopter (直升机) full of rescue workers crashed (坠毁) and the rescue workers were almost killed. Linda Carle, who lives in the Mount Hood area, asks, “If someone made a poor decision, why should rescue teams have to risk their lives to save them Why do people take unnecessary risks and do things that aren't right if they know that they can get into trouble？”
Most of the Mount Hood rescue workers are either volunteers (志愿者) or part of the local sheriff's department. There is no charge for these rescues. It is the taxpayers (纳税人) who pay the bill. Linda Carle suggests that people who take careless risks and require rescue should be charged for the rescue. She feels it is only fair that costs for things like damaged helicopters and medical care for rescuers be paid for by the people who took the risks. What would you do if you were the local sheriff at Mount Hood

15．The author's purpose in writing the text is to ________.

C．advise climbers to think twice before they act
D．report some serious accidents in Mount Hood

Japanese people greet each other by bowing (鞠躬). When greeting an older or more important person, it is usual to bow lower and for longer. __17__ But only men did it.
People in European countries such as Italy often greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks (脸颊). Even men greet each other like this. __18__
Eskimos, a group of people living in the very cold northern areas of North America, greet each other by lightly rubbing (摩擦) their noses together. __19__ Often, Eskimos only leave their eyes and noses uncovered. And the rest of their bodies are covered with warm clothing and their hands with gloves.
When you're not sure what the customs are in a new country, there's one greeting that is the same all over the world: a smile. __20__
A．Kissing is only for close family or women friends.
B．However, Eskimos never greet each other with a bow.
C．Everyone understands a smile so don't be afraid to use it!
D．In some cultures, it is usual to kiss on the cheek three times!
E．This custom probably started because of the freezing weather.
F．Bowing was also traditional in many European countries in the past.
G．But it is now becoming international, especially in business situations.
16．选G 根据该空前一句“Shaking hands to say hello or goodbye was a Western custom (风俗) at first.”可知，G项“但如今握手是一种国际化的打招呼方式，特别是在商业场合”符合语境。G项中的“becoming international”和上一句中的“a Western custom”形成对比。
17．选F 该段主要介绍鞠躬这个礼仪，故F项介绍鞠躬在欧洲国家的使用情况符合语境。
18．选D 根据该空前的“greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks (脸颊)”可知，D项关于亲吻脸颊的礼仪符合语境。D项中的“kiss on the cheek three times”与该段中的“with a kiss on both cheeks”相呼应。
19．选E 该空前介绍爱斯基摩人打招呼时是互相摩擦双方的鼻子，该空后介绍爱斯基摩人由于天气寒冷除眼睛和鼻子外全副武装。由此可知，空格处起承上启下的作用，E项“摩擦鼻子这个风俗源于严寒天气”符合语境。
20．选C 根据该空前的“there's one greeting that is the same all over the world: a smile”可知，由于微笑在全世界通用，因此每个人都理解微笑的含义。C项中的“Everyone understands a smile”与该空前的“the same all over the world: a smile”相呼应。
